It’s cold out there. The Coldest Night of the Year is a covid-safe, family-friendly walk to raise money for charities serving people experiencing homelessness, hurt, and hunger. Walk with us virtually or in-person on February 20, 2021 – there’s a place for everyone!

Everything is Outdoors!

Because of covid, the event this year must be outside from beginning to end without exception. This includes:

• Walker Check-In

• Toque Pick-up

• Walker Send-Off

Other key things of note this year:

• Indoor washroom facilities will be open at the start location and at the rest stop.

• Post-event meal: There will be no traditional post-event meal this year.
